I know that Tamiya Wooden Deck Tan paint is a proper color for the cloth upholstery for the Citroen 11CV car. Is the same true for the Opel Olympia kit by Bronco? (The photos I've found so far of Opel interiors are unfortunately not in color.)

I Googled Opel Olympia and there were a lot of color photos. A few showed interior, and the ones that looked original were all tan.

I tried that but found nothing showing interior pictures in color. Of course Google doesn't always give you the exact same results when you use different computers.
I assumed tan would be a valid color simply because I've seen so many cars from the 1920's and 30's with tan interiors.
